Frequently asked questions
Can I retrieve stored passwords for a specific client?
Yes. Use list_passwords with an optional company_id to filter passwords by client. Then use get_password with a specific password ID to retrieve the full entry including the secret. Use list_companies to find the company ID first.
Does Hudu require a custom instance URL?
Yes. Hudu is self-hosted or uses dedicated instances, so you need to provide your Instance URL (e.g., https://your-company.huducloud.com) along with the API Key. The API Key is sent via the x-api-key header (not Bearer), and all API calls are routed to {instanceUrl}/api/v1.
Can I track all assets for a specific company?
Yes. Use list_assets with the company_id parameter to retrieve all assets (servers, workstations, network devices) for a specific client. Use get_asset for detailed specifications and tags. Use create_asset to add new assets with a name, company ID, and optional asset tag.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
